The man looked to be in his forties, not quite fifty, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding an imposing aura. He wore a bespoke suit with a black mink coat, looking incredibly wealthy.
Xu Qingyun didn't recognize the man, but Ye Xiao's expression changed immediately upon seeing him, so this man's identity must be extraordinary.
"Ye Xiao, who gave you the courage to be so arrogant?! Do you think you're in charge of the Ye family now?!" the man demanded sharply.
Ye Xiao gritted her teeth, a chill running from the soles of her feet throughout her body, and she couldn't help but shiver.
"Master Huo, this is a matter for our Ye family, it shouldn't have anything to do with you, right?!" Even the arrogant Ye Xiao trembled when facing this man.
Upon hearing the title "Master Huo," the words "Huo Family of Haicheng" immediately came to mind.
The Ji family of Beijing, the Ye family of Nancheng, and the Huo family of Haicheng are the three top wealthy families, practically at the pinnacle of the entire wealthy family system.
The three powerful families stand in a tripartite balance, each ruling its own territory, without interfering with or cooperating with each other.
Why would the Huo family suddenly appear at the Ye family's residence in Nancheng and interfere in the Ye family's affairs?
Xu Qingyun had questions in her mind, and couldn't help but scrutinize the man in front of her again. A strange feeling flashed through her mind, but she didn't have time to catch it.
"Ye Xiao, get out of the way!" Master Huo's voice was sharp, and a sense of oppression instantly descended.
Ye Xiao gritted her teeth, glaring angrily at Xu Qingyun and the coffin behind her: "This is a matter for my Ye family, and has nothing to do with Master Huo! As long as I, Ye Xiao, am here today, Xu Qingyun and Ye Jianjia will not be allowed to set foot in the Ye family!"
Although she made a harsh statement, Ye Xiao didn't dare to be arrogant and ask for a bulldozer anymore. After all, the person in front of her was Huo Xize, the "Master Huo" of Haicheng, someone she, a fake heiress of the Ye family, could not afford to offend.
Huo Xize's eyes darkened. "Huo Yan."
"dad."
A young and handsome man walked up from behind, looked at Xu Qingyun, and then at Huo Xize.
"Push open the Ye family's gate," Huo Xize said coldly.
Huo Yan clenched his fist, his fierce aura bursting forth: "Fine!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao immediately screamed, "You dare! Huo Xize, just because I called you Master Huo, you think you're something special?! This is Nancheng, this is the Ye family, not your Haicheng, not the Huo family!"
Hoczech ignored it all, treating it as the cacophony of an annoying wild duck.
He walked up to Xu Qingyun, his resolute face becoming even more tense. "Child, don't worry! With me, Huo Xize, here today, no one can bully you!"
Xu Qingyun frowned. "Why are you helping me?!"
Huo Xize froze for a moment, "I have some connection with your father."
Xu Qingyun was even more puzzled, "You mean... Ye An?!"
The reason she hesitated was that she was not yet completely certain that Ye An was her biological father.
After she finishes what she did for her mother, she will get a DNA test.
Huo Xize nodded, his voice hoarse, and said, "Yes!"
Xu Qingyun could feel Huo Xize trembling. He kept gritting his teeth, his hands clenched into fists, trying his best to control the rise and fall of his chest.
Clearly, he was suppressing some intense emotion that was almost suffocating.
In an instant, that strange feeling surged up in her heart again, and Xu Qingyun blurted out, "You know my mother!"
"I don't know him!"
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Hoczez gave a negative answer.
He was too quick to deny it.
A huge wave surged through Xu Qingyun's heart, crashing against her chest and making her tremble.
But she still couldn't understand what was going on!
Fearing he would reveal his emotions, Huo Xize turned around and went back to his car, leaving everything to his son, Huo Yan.
Huo Yan glanced at Xu Qingyun and immediately turned his face away, his dark eyes churning with complex emotions.
God knows how much effort he had to put in to suppress it!
With stiff legs, he turned to the side and dialed a number, coldly ordering, "Bring a team to the Ye family! Now!"
Hearing him say that, Ye Xiao's heart tightened!
Huo Yan is notorious for his recklessness; everyone in Haicheng knows how audacious and reckless he is!
If the Ye family's gate were really torn down today, it would definitely become explosive news.
Ye Xiao finally couldn't take it anymore and immediately ordered, "Go and invite the master."
Before long, an elderly man with white hair came out, leaning on a cane.
The old man looked to be in his seventies, with almost all of his hair turned white.
The old man was wearing a heavy down jacket, under which silver-gray silk trousers were visible, and his feet were bare.
At first glance, he looked like an ordinary old man, but Xu Qingyun knew that this must be Ye Boyun.
Before Ye Boyun even reached the door, he was already stumbling and unsteady on his feet, his lips trembling violently, and tears streaming down his aged face.
But to Xu Qingyun, these tears were crocodile tears. Ye Boyun had no intention of acknowledging his mother and didn't care about her at all.
She had been at the Ye family home with her mother's coffin for at least half an hour, and there was a commotion at the entrance, yet Ye Boyun had been avoiding seeing her. How heartless was that?!
He knew Ye Xiao was arrogant and domineering, and he also knew that Ye Xiao would definitely not allow his mother to enter the Ye family.
What a heartless and foolish father!
Xu Qingyun's hatred was frantically brewing, and she felt sad for her mother having such a father.
Ye Boyun walked forward, but Ye Xiao immediately grabbed his arm. "Dad! You're not really planning to let Ye Jianjia go back to the Ye family, are you?!"
Ye Boyun remained silent, his nerves on edge.
"Dad?!" Ye Xiao raised her voice in disbelief. Her father's attitude was tantamount to admitting it.
How is that possible?!
Her father loved her the most!
Ye Boyun: "Xiaoxiao, let go."
"dad!"
Ye Boyun used all his strength to shake off Ye Xiao's hand, and then walked over with trembling steps.
Upon seeing Ye Jianjia's body, which resembled a dried corpse, Ye Boyun could no longer control himself and burst into tears, crying out, "Jiajia, Daddy... I'm so sorry."
Everyone around was shocked.
"So it really is the Ye family?!"
"So what that girl said was true?! This is the real eldest daughter of the Ye family, and the other one was switched at birth?!"
"They still pamper the one who was switched at birth? Look at the one in the coffin, she died so tragically. Isn't this just because the Ye family doesn't value her? Otherwise, who would dare treat the Ye family's eldest daughter like this?!"
"Who knows? We can't discuss things that happen in wealthy families."
Ye Boyun cried for a while before wiping away her tears. "Xiaoyun, Grandpa..."
“Mr. Ye!” Xu Qingyun interrupted Ye Boyun, her voice devoid of any emotion. “You are my mother’s father. She always wanted to acknowledge you, and even on her deathbed, she wanted me to return to the Ye family. But I will not acknowledge you. You are not worthy!”
Ye Boyun stared in shock, then pounded her chest in anguish, "It's my fault, it's my fault, I don't deserve it."
Xu Qingyun showed no mercy; to show mercy would be cruel to her mother!
"Guards! Quickly, invite the young lady and the young lady inside!" Ye Boyun shouted angrily!
